A couple of weeks ago we saw a long coat WGSL German Shepherd who was, no joke, the most beautiful GSD I have ever seen. Just stunning and probably what some people would call a plush, as he didn't really have flowing long hair, just longer hair. My husband then became obsessed with wanting Hans to have a mane like a lion.

But the older he gets I am not 100% sure anymore that he's a coatie. His dog walker has another GSD puppy client, a coatie and she and Hans look very, ver different at this point. Any thoughts based on the pics?

My puppie had the same look but as he's grown he's more plush. Definitely not a coated GSD but not stock coat either. Long hair but not super long.

Thank you! Both of his parents had great pigmentation, and I have a feeling he'll have a similar overall pigmentation to his dam. She is super red/black.

Haha, thanks! He was sort of the unofficial mascot for a game store opening the day he wore it, so he got to meet lots of people and get lots of treats. That's why he's got such a happy face in that picture!

I agree with the others, doesn't look like a coatie to me. He is absolutely adorable though!!

Yeah, I am having doubts too.

He still has floofy hair BEHIND his ears (like at the base where they meet the head) but none of the sort of side growing floofs that I see in the female coatie that he's friends with.

I would say no. Mine always had the extra ear and toe floofs
